In the recent week, we have experienced random switches between wiki-based (MediaWiki:*) and PHP-based message translations on the czech Wikipedia. And because the translations in LanguageCs.php are quite obsolete, those switches are very visible and unpleasant.
So I have two questions:
- Why do those switches happen? Is it only some transitional problem,
or is this going to happen regularly in the future?
We're looking into that problem. It's probably an occasional transient problem with tugelacache, the memcached replacement which was recently put into production. Approximately 12 hours ago, Domas implemented a workaround in MediaWiki which should minimise the effect of such errors. So hopefully you won't notice it anymore.
- What could I do to get the LanguageCs.php updated? Should I just
send the updated version here? (AFAIK we do not have any developer on the cs: wikipedia.) Maybe someone could just get the Special:Allpages in PHP format and dump them to the PHP file, as those are the most differing entries.
Submit it either here or to meta at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/LanguageCs.php
